Golden Gate Bridge | How a Wonder was Constructed?

The workers involved in this construction must have had balls of steel. What an incredible feet. Thanks for the detailed information!

This is exactly the video i've been looking for for the last 20 years. Most just talked about how the bridge above water was built, but none talked about how the underwater foundation was built. Thank you.

This video means so much to me thank you. My great grandfather helped assemble the bridge and my granpa walked across it with him on opening day. My grandpa gave me a broken rivet that his dad kept and when i see it i remember all the good memories and knowledge he gave me.

I just can't imagine the digging beneath to sink it more into the bedrock. Like can you imagine how scary that would be digging as it sinks more and more. So much respect for those workers...

As a retired Union Ironworker of 60 years I would like to emphasize the fact that STEELWORKERS make the steel that IRONWORKERS fabricate and erect in steel structures. Both professions are honorable in their own right.

I take lots for granted and the amount of manpower, brainpower, and ingenuity needed for a project like this is astounding

The engineering behind this structure is more than amazing , the workers were scrazy brave , Respect to the engineers

Genius architect, we need to bring back more of this kind the magnificent project.

Number one. Most beautiful bridge in the planet. Biggest classics. And the place where it is erected, it is incredibly magnificent.

Crazy they could build something like this in the 1930's.

The level of commitment put into these videos is insane😮. Great work team, the animators and the founder and the voice over.

Probably never gonna be seen but thank you construction workers who put up with hell so we can have modern architecture

Wow, never thought it is such a complicated and highly engineered bridge. One of best of American engineering.

I used to jog across this bridge back in the 1980's while attending language school in the military. I remember they had lane changes for morning and evening commuter traffic. They had tall plastic traffic pipes they would shift over to allow more lanes for morning or evening commuter traffic. They also had traffic lights that changed from morning to evening based on the direction of traffic. It think the lights had a red X lit up for lanes that changed direction not allowing access from that direction in the mornings. It would change to green in the evening. Muir woods with the giant Sequoia trees is not far from this bridge. On a side note, the city is/was known for its trolley system, but never road a trolley the entire 7 months I was there because the trolley system was down for a major overhaul that entire time.

I wish the bridge was built with two decks with the lower deck having a railway for BART to run on. It would be so cool to see trains going over the Golden Gate Bridge

My heart goes out to those brave riveters who stayed inside the bridge

truly one of the wonders of the modern world

These are so terrific. I love that you include the proper vocabulary and detailed process of things!

Imagine how brave those worker under that concrete 😮😮

I marvel over the mindsets, courage and bravery of these men. Truely a world wonder
